I would like to know why you prefer the EVO over the MPX?

If you read my Scorpion thread, I was definitely thinking of selling my EVO and going to the MPX for several reasons. The better mags ( not that EVO mags are "bad" but I like Lancers a LOT ), the all metal construction, the delayed blowback, etc.
Then I handled one. I was not impressed, personally. I have never liked pistol cal carbines because they weigh as much as rifles but have one third the power. The MPX, gives me that same feeling.....it's just really heavy for what it is. ( as is just about every PCC ) It makes me want a proper AR instead. The Sig is damn nicely built but both stocks are rather uncomfortable ( like and Uzi or more appropriately an MP5 or Greasegun collapsible in one case or a Smith M76 in the other ) as compared to the Evo stock. There is just ( for me ) a feel about the Sig I do not like....despite the fact that it is a well made gun )....
The Evo ( despite the issues I had with it ) is really light for a PCC, it's super accurate and the OEM stock just lends itself perfectly to optics or irons. I ditched the factory irons and went with MagPul MBUS sights. Now that I have my Evo running.....I pretty much prefer it to everything but a full stocked MP5.
I don't think you can go "wrong" with an MPX....they have good mags, nice triggers, decent sights and are reliable and VERY well made.....but the Evo is just LIGHT and ACCURATE and when you do the trigger right, they are a damn good shooter.
I don't even want to LIKE the Evo......but I can't help it. Mind you, it appears I am just about the ONLY guy who had issues with an Evo ( other than the mags cracking which happens to several folks ) as far as reliability....and I have it running like a scalded cat, now. And I mean running like a scalded cat in 110 degree heat and filthy like a little monkey.
